Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) versus emergency cholecystectomy (EC) in treating acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) in elderly and high-risk patients.
- Results indicated that PC led to higher 30-day and 90-day mortality rates, longer hospital stays, and more readmissions compared to EC, although it had a lower overall complication rate.
- Further analysis of a higher-risk subgroup revealed similar trends, with both procedures showing increased risk of severe complications in patients with ACC lasting longer than three days.
